Guild Wars 2

I will gladly take a total stealth removal nerf on my main if they remove Ride The Lightning

Alot of people said in here I see you xman should post another video rofl, and make another thread lol.

Your videos are out dated man. They couldn’t see you even after you broke stealth because of the culling problem. You were probably only visible for them for like a second or so. But now you’ll see us 4 seconds, which is a lot for the profession with the lowest health pool in the game.

It’s not broken, but dude, you just have to l2p… I have lots of fun downing thieves with my warrior, guardian, necro, ele, and ranger. It’s not OP because you can’t see me. I’m still there. Those you were fighting in those videos had really no idea how to counter a thief. They could have aoe CC’d you and use their aoe damage abilities to down you pretty fast.

Videos are not outdated. Fights were small numbers. No culling.

These videos are outdated.

Post videos that are published after March 26th.
Videos are not outdated. Those videos are nearly entirely of small-group play, or 1v2 play. There is no culling in those situations. QED.

Thats not true, devs stated that culling was an issue in WvW…Even if is was small groups models were still taking longer to load, when chaining stealth the thief model would drop and have to reload every few seconds and making it seem for the opposing player to feel like the thief was stealth for a few more seconds then he really was.

Sorry but any video pre today is outdated as far as culling gos.

I’m going to just leave this here so you don’t have to go back a page…

The devs are not stupid and will wait to see the result of the culling + revealed change, as will all reasonable people.

Truth be told though thieves are going to need stealth adjustments regardless if they hope to have a larger variety of build options. Stealth is a nice mechanic but it is also extremely limiting due to it’s obvious power in current form.

Thus future changes from here won’t likely be nerfs, but instead moving the power around. Which will nerf some very specific builds, buff most others, and create overall much more variety.
